If you were in your early twenties and could do it all again what direction would you go? What do you wish you had done earlier? What advice do you wish you had gotten? What would you tell your younger self?

    Do the deep work to determine your motivations for wanting to start a business. Are they based on trauma or true love? This is very hard to distinguish when you’re young.

    But if you let trauma drive, and you do the work to heal, you’ll start burning out even if you’re successful.

    Travel, a lot, the more countries u visit the more u realize how all your friends and family at home live in a bubble.

    Traveling also creates so many business opportunities, not only from meeting people but also from just seeing what is needed in other places and what certain things cost.

    I get where you’re coming from, OP, but I don’t like the question. It’s as though you’re saying we only have our (early) twenties to make a go of things in life.

    I used to have this dumb/narrow-minded attitude and outlook, too, but I have realised it actually isn’t the case. In fact, as it happens, most first-time entrepreneurs are in their early 40s (and usually more successful than the entrepreneur ‘kids’ in their early 20s.)
